ELMIRA (WENY) --- How would you like to see Chemung County in 20 years? Well the Elmira - Chemung Transportation Council is hosting a series of workshops this month to get the community's feedback. Leaders are looking for ways to improve the communities quality of life by working on the transportation system. During these workshops, residents will be asked how they would like to see transportation improve throughout the years.
